5K and House Updates

On Saturday I finished a 5K!!!! I was so proud of myself. I will not tell you how long it took me, but I finished and I ran/jogged the WHOLE way.. well... almost. I walked once or twice for a minute. I didn't want to throw up on the trail :) Annie was such a trooper and stayed with me to motivate me to keep running. She could have ran circles around me and finished 20 minutes faster than we did, but I am so grateful that she stuck it out with me! I couldn't have done it without you Annie!!! You are the best... thank you so much for being my motivational coach!!! Jed kept up with Ben the whole time too.. I am so proud of you!! I thought for sure that he would struggle since we started running about a week before the race, but he did awesome! And my mom just took off and left me in the dust! She finished 5 minutes before Annie and I did. This was a huge accomplishment for me, and I am excited to run in Mikes Mad Dash (Sign up everyone!!! It's only a 5K and its for a great cause! Let me know if you need info on it-- Annie is on the panel putting it on) and HOPEFULLY cut quite a bit of time off my current time.

The 5K Crew- Ben, Annie, Jed, Me and my mom. Annie won a Toys-R-Us gift card just for running in the race! That girl has the best luck! :)
In other news-- our house is coming right along! All the dry wall is up and textured and they are starting tile today. Jed and I can't wait to move in!!!!
